Dear Pat, I wonder whether your Colin Chisholm was a planter in Grenada? I have mention of personal letter(s) from a Dr Colin Chisholm to John McIntosh 1783-95 from London and Grenada. This is at NAS, Edinburgh, reference GD128.69.10 (GD=Gift Donation). The John McIntosh in question would have been - I believe - John McIntosh, provost of Inverness. I wonder also whether there were connections with a Munro family in Grenada?
